Adding value to cell if word is in another cell
Hi,
I am trying to add a value to a column based on the below data. Could anyone help with a formula to calculate the following:
If a country name is listed in the column, I need to calculate 20% of the value in another column.If no country name is listed, I just need the original value to be displayed.
so effectively:
= column a (if no data showing in column d
= 20% of column a if data is showing in column d
Sorry if Im not explaining it correctly!

Hi Kerri,
Thank you for the forum question.
If I understand you right the If function should look like this:
=If(D2="",A2,A2*20%)
Please let me know if it is not what you want to do.
Kind regards

RE: adding value to cell if word is in another cell
Hi Jens,
Thanks so much for the speedy reply. The calculates 20% of everything, however I'm only looking to calculate the 20% from certain values. Im probably not explaining it. I have an anonomised document, is it possible to forward it as I cant seem to screenshot a table here?
Thanks

Hi Kerri,
I am sorry that you had to wait for an answer.
When I answered your question I assumed that when you wrote "if no data showing in column d" that you meant the cell was blank, but I can see in your worksheet that you have a zero.
I am not sure based on you explanation if you want to add 20% or want to calculate 20% of the AC column.
If you want to calculate 20% of column AC use:
=IF(AE2=0,AC2,AC2*20%)
If you want to add 20%:
=IF(AE2=0,AC2,AC2*(1_20%))
I hope this is what you want. Please let me know if it is something else.
Kind regards

Excel tip:Reconciling a list to correspond with anotherMay have a list that needs to make but on another sheet one list seems to be out, eg. product list one sheet contains all product and inventory data, while the other contains pricing data. Both need to match with all products but there is more products in one list than the other. To find the disparaging product compare data in the two columns that need to match Make sure that order the same way. |
